At the time of writing, we don\u2019t yet have a clear idea of which devices will get the Privacy Dashboard. However, we can take clues from past features.<\/p>\n<p>The Privacy Dashboard is similar to Android\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/6234\/google-digital-wellbeing-review-a-strong-nudge-towards-disconnecting\/\">Digital Wellbeing suite<\/a>. Digital Wellbeing was released with Android Pie in 2018, and it was exclusive to Google Pixel phones for a while. Eventually, it became available to more devices, and now it can be found on non-Pixel phones.<\/p>\n<p>Based on that, we expect a similar trajectory for the Privacy Dashboard. It will probably be a Pixel exclusive for a while and might eventually roll out to more Android devices\u2014but when exactly that will happen is not clear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/6234\/google-digital-wellbeing-review-a-strong-nudge-towards-disconnecting\/\"><strong><em>Google Digital Wellbeing Review: A Strong Nudge Towards Disconnecting<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
